So I promised little T that I would do rides with her this year - assuming I had lost the weight. So for the first time in over 30 years I did go for rides and I have to say it was very uncomfortable. I am not sure what is so exciting about being thrown around in a cage. By the time the rides were over I could barely walk.
I found that it was easiest to just keep my eyes closed, but I was not a silent rider. I used to be, but I spent the entire rides saying oh shit ouch oh shit. Finally baby T told me to stop saying shit. Oh well, it hurt.
So maybe I fit in the rides, but they definitely are made for people smaller then me. I felt large and overflowing, and I thought that I always wanted to go to Disney land, but now I am not so sure. Rides are definitely for the young. I had Disney land on my bucket list but it just came off.
It was nice to have people ask if I was going on the rides. Before they would take one look at me and pray I didn't get in line because I wouldn't fit. Now the would try and cajole me on. But really folks it isn't fun.

It ain't on my bucket list either!
ReplyDeleteI am in utter AWE of T3's ride efforts - she went above and beyond the call of duty!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, T3 easily fit in the rides - they're just made to be scary and to throw you around.
I haven't been to Disneyland since Dan M. was age 4 - the rides were a whole lot less scary then & the food wasn't so hot. Having said that, I'll be happy to go to Disneyland as long as I don't have to get on any centrifuge machines.
